Hello - I've been "gifted" with a TM-703C. On applying +12 and +5, the motor refuses to spin up even though the brake solenoid pulls in. On placing a pencil against the rotor, I can feel some vibration but there is no tendency for it to spin. I think one of the power transistors in the motor drive circuit may be blown. Before I think too much about sending it out for repair, I'd like to know if it's worth it... So: Does anyone have a list of drive parameters for this thing? Number of heads, number of cylinders, reduced-write-current point, precompensation track number, that sort of thing. The real win would be in finding the unformatted/formatted drive capacity. Thanks for your time - Mark Becker MBECK@AI.AI.MIT.EDU
